  1. Substantial content is present. Improvements remain possible and editing continues at a modest pace.
  2. The Oberon programming language with multiple dialects, various Oberon operating systems, computing hardware where the operating systems have been used and the hardware description language, Lola-2, used to configure a FPGA.
  3. An adapter is required to connect a conventional serial mouse to the Hirose 3540-16P-CV connector. Oberon does not yet support the touchscreen.
